Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans after allegedly hitting two people outside of a Royal Street business amid Mardi Gras celebrations, according to police.

The 39-year-old was kicked out of the business early Tuesday morning after causing a disturbance at the business, the New Orleans Police Department said.

"Once removed from the building, the victim reported being struck by LaBeouf who used his closed fists on the victim several times," police said in a news release.

"The victims reported that LaBeouf left, but then came back, acting even more aggressive."

Multiple people attempted to hold him down and released him so he could leave, but LaBeouf allegedly hit the same victim with a closed fist to the upper body, police said.

"LaBeouf then reportedly assaulted another person — punching him in the nose," police said. "LaBeouf was again held down until police arrived."

He was a hot mess previously. Hopefully, this is just a temporal blip.

Wow, haven’t heard much about Mr. “He Will Not Divide Us” in a long time.

[AppyPappy]

Oh, an actor. I wasn’t really sure.

My neighbor up the hill.

Agreed, relapses are not uncommon, hopefully it will get him back on track. Sometimes when God want’s to save someone He will humble them first to get rid of their pride.

[Salman]

I remember him. He sure loved publicity.

Well now he's finally got some again. { snicker }

[Snowybear]

This guy jumped the shark long ago. Not a stable individual.

[nickcarraway]

Is he’s still a traditional Catholic?

[Major Matt Mason]

It's been 8 years since the capture of Shia's flags, but thanks to YouTube, we can relive those memories.

U.S. Capture, I think

Liverpool Capture

[Georgia Girl 2]

Somebody fell off the wagon. 🙄

[circlecity]

If you watch the video Shia got tuned up big time.

[No name given]

He was in those “Transformers” movies.

[No name given]

He needs help, big time.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes, I really like the guy’s acting. Someone should have talked him out of Mardi Gras. Sometimes it takes more than one try to get sober.

[plain talk]

Ah yes ...brawling

[Bullish]

He has earned a very bad reputation in Hollywood as being an asshole that no one wants to work with. A real problem for everyone around him so I he’s not getting much work anymore.
